Practice this tuning-specific layout

Play Bb Minor-Major 7 Arpeggio on the low E string at frets 1, 5, 6, and 9, saying each note name and degree aloud.
Build a phrase that lets A on open string 5 ring, then connect it to the nearest Bb root and two other arpeggio tones.
Connect the Bb root positions on strings 6 through 1 at frets 6, 1, 6, 1, 9, and 6, adding the nearest arpeggio tone between each pair of roots.
